Mutiple I-drive Issues happening at once...

Let preface what I am about to say with - for the most part, I have been fairly happy w/ my idrive... I actually just got the v26 update the other weekend and it's a very nice improvement...

So, yesterday, when I was pulling out of work, I immediately got multiple idrive error messages... Idrive was telling me that I had a FTM system failure, a DSC system failure, a DSB failure (which I don't even know what that one is...) When I tried to use my cruise control on the way home, I also got a cruise control system failure... It was like the portion of the computer that controls car driveability functions was gone. My turn signals even weren't working properly... When I made a turn they would not turn off. :mad:

SO - I am taking it into the dealership in a little bit here to see what is going on... I REALLY hope that they are actually able to diagnose a problem, instead of just resetting everything, and then telling me that everything will be fine...

We'll see.....

This sounds like it has nothing to do with iDrive.

well - it's at the dealership right now and they have no clue what it is... I have 4 error codes right now that are unexplainable... I am going to be stuck in a loaner vehicle for a while...

Good luck, keep us posted. Did you get a chance to restart the car before taking it in? And when you did, did the errors still show up?

I had a similar problem in my '02 and it was an Engine wire harness failure resulting in none of the systems being able to talk to eachother (ABS, DSC, ...). I agree with zenmaster...

UPDATE - - I just got the car back and it was the SZL... It's a computer module that's located right behind the steering wheel in the column... It apparently controls all of the items such as DSC, DBC, FTM, etc... They said that they have never seen the problem in a e90 and only maybe one or two in a 5 series.

Anyway... the good news that the problem is solved and the car is back to normal...for now... I guess I will never know if the v26 update that I received a couple weeks ago had anything to do with it...
